August 29, 2005 was a day of utter devastation for the people of New Orleans. Hurricane Katrina's storm surges breached the levees and flooded about 80% of the city. It not only ruined the city alone, it ruined lives, leaving many dead, injured, and homeless.
To this day, the government has done as little as they can get away with for these people. With Global Warming, storms will become stronger. We need to update our systems to protect against this. I think it's time for the wonderful people of this nation to fight back.
Before you pass this up, thinking "well, that's the risk you take by living in a place destined for hurricanes at one point or another." Think about this. Wherever you go you risk facing a natural disaster. The point is not where you live, the point is that New Orleans is home to many people.
It's time for them to rebuild their lives with confidence. If it was your home, you would want something done as well. Please sign this petition and let our voices be heard.
We, the undersigned, ask for a bill to be passed for new levees to be built for New Orleans.
